Australian Wine

Australia is home to some of the greatest grape escapes in the world, and it has the wine to prove it.

For such a seemingly small country, Australia sure can pump it out. Despite its size in relation to other giants such as Spain, Italy and the United States, Australia is the fourth-largest producer of wine.


Whether it’s whites or reds, some of the world’s most popular types can be found Down Under. From Shiraz to Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvingon to Semillon, Australia provides plenty of vino variety.


The bulk of this grape goodness comes from South Australia, Western Australia, Victoria and New South Wales. There are more than 60 specific Australian wine regions, each of which brings its own special blend to the wine game.
